You're so right Gina. I have loved being alone for the week and being able to accomplish a few things, but by Thursday evening, I was starting to get that lonely feeling. The boys should be home by 1 or 1:30 and I can't wait to see my baby boy.

I love having my husband home but I really enjoy it when he's gone for a couple of days and I'm home alone. I really feel like I can do what I want. I don't have to clean or cook. My idea of a vacation is for everyone to be gone for a few days, have a good book to read, and have a Pepsi (not diet) and a big bag of sunflower seeds in the shell!!! Ah......that's one of my most favorite things in the whole wide world!!! But I can't do the sunflower seeds now because of the salt. Bummer!!!! I'm always ready for my family to come back after a few days.

Angie, like the old saying says "Absence makes the heart grow fonder!!!" I think that being apart makes you realize how much you love a person. I bet that Brendan is in for one big homecoming!!!! Awwww, to young and newly weds again. Sigh!!!

Mom made sure I had chocolate! She bought lots of goodies at Wal-mart (for a really great price!) and she gave me a chocolate covered donut. YUM!

Unfortunately, my brother decided to be mean so when he was standing in front of me he looked out the window (behind me) and said, "Oh, is that Brendon?" I got so excited for a split second and even turned around to see if it was him...then remembered that he was gone. My heart sank. My brother thinks he's clever--and it worked! lol

I spent the evening shopping with Mom and bought the cutest little dress to wear for our anniversary next week. It's kind of a tradition that I buy a new dress for anniversary so I did even though I felt awful for splurging. We're on a tight budget for the summer, but at least it was on sale and only $20--and really cute! Then we went back to Mom's house to have sweets and chat. My brother and I danced around like dorks to funny old songs like the Macarena and Land Down Under, then I went to Sarah and Ryan's where I had banana split and played their Game Cube. My friends and family really take care me when I'm sad or lonely! I guess I'm pretty blessed even when Bren's away.

He played paintball today and some Call of Duty. (That's their favorite game, but I sure wouldn't be playing it if I was at the beach!) The boys are having a great time together, but I can't wait to have my hubby back on Monday. Tomorrow I'm working a long shift--one of the girls I'm with is on vacation so me and the other girl in the lab are working extra this week. I go in at 11 and get off at 9:30. At least I'll be busy and won't be thinking about missing Brendon as much.
